How to fit a budget DashCam/ActionCam Yourself

Don't you just hate tailgaters.

In this video Paul and Will show you how to fit a budget dashcam/actioncam to the rear window of a car to deter tailgaters.

This is a fully working camera that is capable of recording 720p to a micro sd card but we decided to set it up as a deterrent dummy camera (Not active) but the tailgaters will not know this.

The car used in this video is an Audi A3 8P but it could be fitted to any car.

You could set this up on your motorcycle, truck, van, etc, with the correct attachments.

If you want to take the time then you could wire it in with a long Mini to USB lead (some connectors vary) to your 12V socket to be a working recording device.

The dash/action cam and sucker attachment was purchased online for less than €£$ 20.

Only tool needed for this task is a trim removal tool or a flathead/blade screwdriver to lever back the trim panel.

Citroen C5 - Where to find your spare wheel

Where is your spare wheel?

Watch this video and Ross will show you where to find the spare wheel in a Citroen C5.

It's safely strapped in with the necessary tools in the wheel well under the carpet in the boot or trunk area.

With some older Citroens it may be located under the bonnet or hood while with some others it may be securely bolted under the back of the car or van.

It's a full size wheel and not a space saver. Some new and recent cars do not even have a spare due to space and weight saving but instead may supply a foam and pump kit.

It's recommended that you check you tyre pressure regularly for your own safety. An under inflated or over inflated tyre may affect the handling of your car and may not last as long as intended.
